Hahahahahahaha! Tried to golf. Even took Golf 101 during my Sophomore year in college. Apparently of no help but, as a poor 19 year old, I basically couldn’t afford the sport. The cost of the clubs and having to pay-to-play just wasn’t in my budget. But tennis? The boom was at its height. More chances, mebbe, to meet chicks in the tennis class or at the courts. Plus, other than the cost of a can of balls, around $1.50 to $2.00, tennis was relatively cheap. I also enjoyed the Mano y Mano nature as opposed to golf’s mental battle as well as being able to take my shirt off while playing and not have to wear a frickin’ button collared shirt!
And hey, when it starts to rain, tennis players may or may not wait around to let the rain pass and play when the courts dry up. Iffin’ it doesn’t clear up, you go with your friend(s) to eat or have a few beers. In golf, you take out your rain jacket and umbrella but still continue despite getting drenched. ‘Course you can drink while playing golf so there is one + aspect to it but not enough for me. Of course ymmv.
